Stations
At TX5K we installed 10 fully equipped HF stations in two camps located about 300m apart from each other. Each station contained following components:

- Elecraft K3 transceviver
- OM 2500, OM 2000 or ACOM 1000 amplifier
- Notebook computer (Windows XP)
- microHAM MK2 transceiver interface
- WinTest logging software
